I think any kind of FI is awesome.

I have looked at whipple & i have been told by shops down here you don't get the power. But I like what they offer in the H.O. kit.

You get the 500+ crank hp they claim. 450rwhp is pretty standard for a whipple HO on a stock gt.

so what kind of SC do they recommend if they say the whipple is so wimpy?

The two top choices for a blower would be a Kenne Bell or a Whimple. You can reach your performance goals easilly with either one of those twin-screws. Some of the Whimple buyers become gender confused after the installation and they join some alternative lifestyle thing they call the "Whimple Crew" but aside from that fact the supercharger itself is a very good kit.
Turbos are another story and I can not profess to know the better options for that choice.
Your shops down there are quite un-informed if they think they can not get the power from the Whimple. It is one of the best kits out there.

I went with the Saleen SC/475hp upgraded, IMO its the best and most effiecent SC on the market if you compare rwhp numbers, I am making as much HP as most the guys with Whimples and KB SC that are running 10psi of boost and I am only running 6.5psi.

With that being said if you ever plan on building a motor and running 20psi or more then you will need to go with something other than a Saleen SC currently they are only good for about 15psi, at least until the new Shacker hood setup comes out, but no one I know of has numbers on that yet.

If you want over 700rwhp, go turbo...if not, definitely do a twin-screw blower (Whipple, Saleen, KB)
